The exhibition, Artists Drawing Artists, opens today at Stormwater Studios in Columbia, SC. This was a really fun exhibition to prepare for. Artists paired up and exchanged photographs of themselves. Many of the artists knew each other so were able to creatively incorporate personal life and art themes into the final portraits. The portrait that Jeri Burdick did of me, for instance, alludes to my monumental snake paintings. My portrait of Jeri included a tongue-in-cheek references to the weirder photos that I had sent of myself to her. The background in Jeri's portrait is embellished with Jeri's free style brushwork. These portraits made the local news! https://wach.com/features/arts-wach/artists-drawing-artists-stormwater-studios-exhibition?fbclid=IwAR2QRaaGVrjBS3hSOOw-KsQ6mrVqgJb5GBtjakO_4DHJBqhVHRTRfIWkDIs
